I also share your misgivings. The interface is highly unpleasant and lacks intuition.

Also I think it has been driven by the 'need' to create the site in Flash. However a great deal has been lost in basic functionality.

With a couple of thousand people in chat, there will be people that don't like the new version.

Might be better to explain what you don't like and why though, it would be more helpful for any future builds thumbup.gif


I kinda like the beta but don't know for sure because a quick 10 minutes in there is hardly time to get used to the way things are. Time and numbers will tell I suppose icon_confused.gif

problems could also occure if the room host stays logged into a room but goes out shopping, shagging, or falls asleep etc there will still be no host as such to kick people out if necessary


Just like in The Pool, Beach and Jacuzzi !

I`ve never understood why the room host`s identity is hidden especially as an op can come into a room and close it with 30 seconds notice, when the room occupants were not even aware there was no host !!






The Op will tell the room there is no host.

30 seconds is ample time to go to another room or set a new room up.


Personally i don`t think it is.

But it is a problem easily solved by identifying the host and then rooms without hosts could be closed without warning.

The room closing when the host leaves is just going to cause a whole bunch of new problems.





Thus creating the problem of people moaning (quite rightly so) about rooms being closed without warning and rooms bombing out..


It`s being proposed that the room closes automatically when the host leaves !!! At least if the host was indentified people would know if they were logged in and could take the choice whether or not to stay in an unhosted room, knowing that it could close at any time.

At the moment we have no choice because the host is a secret !!! icon_eek.gif
and the room can be closed at any time !! Lets face facts ....there is not always a 30 second warning.

If the identity of the host was not a secret, people could make an informed decision as to whether or not to stay in the room. At the moment it`s just a lottery and the room could close at any time with or without warning !!

The fact that people moan about the closure of rooms doesn`t seem to have made any difference in the past so making an issue of it when I`m suggesting a lifting of secrecy around room hosts seems a little strange !

The current room also uses flash, so nothing new there. What functionality has been lost? Can still whisper, view cams, show cams, change rooms, create rooms, view profiles, which is pretty much all you can do in the existing rooms. OK, so currently there are 3 servers, as opposed to the proposed new single server, but what difference would that make if the new server can cope with the user load?

If you want to talk lost functionality, consider the loss of /em and /nick from the old IRC channel - but they were lost a long time ago!

One thing I would like to add is that when all of the bugs are ironed out of beta chat it will be hooked into the existing servers so that there will be 4 chatservers, so people will be able to go between chat 1,2,3 and 4 in pretty much the same way as they go between 1,2 & 3 at the moment so that we can see if any other bugs crop up.

When we are happy that the new version performs as well as it can we will change the other 3 over to the new version and will be running on 4 chat servers or maybe 5 if needed, although in the final version alll of the rooms on all of the servers should appeare in one list to save people moving between servers before selecting rooms.

Totally off-topic.....

Fi, I've just noticed you've got Official Dozy Bint title in your signature....a title I already hold. I believe this gets passed on by the current holder when the situation arises rather than being "liberated" icon_wink.gif

Otherwise you could have just come in and then after 5-10 seconds later - boom!

But the same problem would occur if it was a 3 hour warning, beacuse people come in to the room at all different times so there would always be someone who has just came in as the room was shutting!!

Woo


Suggestions to solve this one:

- Change the colour of the room name in the room list (e.g. red indicates a room is closing)
- Block the room from accepting new connections so people can't join one that's closing

A bump for these items as I'd be interested to know whether they've been considered:

Having whispers in a separate fixed tab at the top of the screen I find frustrating to use. I'm used to having the flexibility to have multiple windows open on screen that I can position them to suit me. Taking onboard other users' comments about this, how about offering the windows as docked by default with the option to un-dock them if required?

Key AUP and chatroom T&C items still don't appear as static text in the window border (as far as I can remember) rather than appearing in text that scrolls off the window when typing. Suggest they are moved so they are always prominent.
